Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Roundabout [official site] is the game about a chauffeur and limousine. The limousine is constantly spinning, which makes navigation difficult, and the live action cutscenes are sweet, funny and a bit Wes Anderson.

$5 for Her Story and Roundabout is a right bargain, so I'd heartily recommend the full motion video-tastic latest Humble Weekly Bundle for those alone. Her Story's a crime mystery told through recordings of interview footage (see its Advent calendar entry, Adam's Wot I Think, and our spoiler-filled discussion), while Roundabout is a delightful driving game with a constantly-revolving limousine and a charming silly story…
100ft Robot Golf [official site] - there's a fantastic game name for you. Pretty much everything it is can be deduced from that name. The second game from Roundabout folks No Goblin, it'll see giant golfbots playing on - and smashing through - courses across cities, mountains, and moons. It's golf with 100-foot robots, see? Okay, a PC release isn't confirmed yet, but I'm fairly…

I say 'charming' and 'lovely' far too much. Granted, I am a moon-eyed fool in constant awe of the world, but it means you, dear reader, might be sceptical when I call Roundabout charming. But it is. As our Adam explained in his review of the puzzler set in a constantly-revolving limousine, it's a treat of goofy live-action cutscenes, funky funk, charm, and Kuru Kuru…

Roundabout is a very silly game about a limousine that is constantly rotating. No, that's not quite right. Roundabout is a sweet and surreal love story about the driver of a limousine that is constantly rotating. Closer. Whatever else it is, Roundabout is the greatest example of the importance of a remarkable theme and visual style that I've seen this year.
Roundabout is out! It-- No, it's not a game based on the Ballard novel Concrete Island, though yes that would make a lovely setting for a walking simulator. It's-- No! It's not an homage to early-'60s kids cartoon The Magic Roundabout replete with less-than-subtle drug references. Shut up a moment and I'll tell you what it is. It's an open world puzzle game in which…
True fact: the song "Roundabout" by mega-proggers Yes is one of the greatest things. Case in point: here it is making JoJo's Bizarre Adventure infinity times better. But that's not actually what we're here to talk about today. Roundabout: The Game has little (perhaps even nothing) to do with jaunty '70s rock tunes. Except that's not really a problem when it's just a different kind…

The year 1977 was a pretty important one. It was, for instance, the year I was spawned. And that's it. Those are the reasons it's so important. It was also, claim developers No Goblin, the year the revolving chauffeur-driven limo was introduced. And so it is the setting for Roundabout, a game in which you must navigate a spinning limousine through an open world. Oh…
